Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

yes, johannes posted this in response to a question i
had a while back... and yes, this method works great
and is easy.
i also live in the NE usa (nyc) and the foil seems to
be lasting just fine. only thing is that i couldn't
get the double-sided tape to stick, so i used rubber
glue, which is working just fine.
